I don't fully understand that chart, but it seems like it's showing that it's harder to get to smaller planets than larger ones - i.e. takes more effort (fuel) to get into a smaller planet's gravitational pull, but you g

I've been using Pop!_OS for the last year or so on my T480 without any issues.

I agree, and I wonder if she mentioned this shirt when the drama developed in 2017?

How do you line up your equal signs? e.g. def mouseMoved(self, info): point = info["point"] text = u"%.0f %.0f" % (point.x, point.y) self.set(text)

I just checked and I still have my lifetime membership.

There was backlash when they tried to take away the premium lifetime membership after the last acquisition. Wonder what Automatic have planned to deal with this...

Did you read the linked article? I don't like it either, but I can understand the reasoning behind it after reading the post.

I note the URL slug is "audacity-is-now-a-spyware" - I wonder if they added the the "Possible" bit to protect themselves from legal action? From reading the article it seems clear that Audacity would tick the boxes requi

I don't know who originally coined the phrase, but I really like this: "Python is the second-best language for everything." This is the main reason why I enjoy learning Python and for me, Python is the best programming langua

I've been using the beta for the last week or so and it's a nice upgrade in lots of subtle ways.

If you're building your own PC and you don't know the difference between BIOS and UEFI, you're going to have a bad time regardless of whether you upgrade to Windows 11.

That sucks. I don't have an Xbox and hearing that makes me never want one.

One thing Microsoft does really well is passwordless logins. As long as you've set up MFA with the Microsoft Authenticator app, you won't need your Microsoft account password to log in ever again. Instead, when you log in, you rec

I hadn't heard of Kiwi Farms before but just spent a few minutes browsing through some recent posts and wow - it really is a toxic wastedump. Their Wikipedia page really sums it up well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

I noticed that the back button continued to work with Firefox on Linux, but the keyboard shortcut (Alt+left arrow) did not work.

My custom-built PC was flagged as not being compatible due to not having TPM 2.0 module. I have an Asus Prime B450M-A motherboard and a Ryzen 7 2700 processor and was surprised that it wasn't compatible. But it turned out there was an

I think the famous Gary Player quote is relevant here: "The more I practice, the luckier I get." If you work hard and have a positive mindset, you're much more likely to get lucky than you would by just slacking off or having

And the author has the audacity to complain about a site that has a light scrollbar in dark mode: 'I absolutely detest sites that "have a dark mode, BUT DON'T MAKE THE SCROLLBAR DARK!",...'

I have a T480 and it's great. I run Pop!_OS on it and have no complaints. The fingerprint reader was the only thing that didn't work out of the box, but that can be fixed too.

You can also get a Powershell web shell through the Azure Portal.

Really? I've never heard that before and a quick search has not come up with anything to back that claim.

That's interesting - I've never seen a Datadog dashboard used like this. Quite powerful.

The Firefox changes came shortly after Chrome started mess with URLs and so it looked like Firefox was going to follow Chrome's lead on this. However, Firefox never really got further than hiding the " http:// " pro

The key advantage to Plex is that it has apps for just about any platform you need. Most smart TVs will have a Plex app, there are Plex mobile apps, and apps for the PlayStation, NAS devices, etc, etc... Plex often muddies the water by tryi

Same. I watch tons of content on YouTube, so it's money well spent. And you get the bonus of YouTube Music which isn't as good as Spotify but is fine to use. I can't remember how much it cost, but I pay for the family version
